(Walt Disney Studios, 1950) Marvelous original concept painting by Mary Blair from Cinderella, which depicts Cinderella working as a scullion in her own home, a chateau bequeathed to her wicked stepmother, Lady Tremaine. The scene depicts Cinderella as she walks across the floor of a large and opulent hallway, her left arm propped up and carrying a tray of teaware, the light from a nearby window shining on the floor to reveal her bare feet. The window, its light, and the form of Cinderella throw bright, contrasting colors across the middle of the painting, cutting through the hallway’s dominant hues of blue, black, and purple. Accomplished in tempera on 9.25 x 9.25 illustration board. In fine condition, with tack holes to the corners. An attractive and well-composed piece by the prolific Disney concept artist.
Blair was a concept artist for Disney during the 1940s and early 1950s, working on designs for such films as Peter Pan, Cinderella, and Alice in Wonderland. She also created designs for several Disney attractions (including It's a Small World) and, her largest work ever, the multi-story mosaic in Disney World's Contemporary Hotel concourse.
